With Battlefield 6 hitting PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 10, analysts believe that EA's military shooter could sell a whopping five million copies within its first week on the market.Veteran games journalist Christopher Dring sat down with games industry researcher and analyst Joost van Dreunen to mull over EA's $55 billion deal on October 2. During the conversation, hosted on Dring's The Game Business Show website and podcast, the two discussed Battlefield 6's highly successful beta--which attracted an estimated 25 million players, surpassed 2.4 million Steam wishlists, and has 1.7 million Steam preorders.

"Ampere believes the game will sell five million units in its first week, and the excitement for the game is growing as we near its October 10 launch. It's pretty much guaranteed a big day one, and if it can deliver a strong start, that will likely have a knock-on effect on Call of Duty (which arrives over a month later)."Continue Reading at GameSpot...
